Occasionally, patients with tumors of the mammary region, which do not originate in the gland itself, attend the mastology consultation. We present the case of a young woman with a painless and slowly growing soft tissue tumor in the right mammary region. Tomography located the tumor below the pectoralis major, with which it contacts but does not infiltrate, it had a rounded shape and circumscribed limits. The doubt about the nature of the lesion led towards a resective behavior, being the pathological anatomy consistent with a cavernous hemangioma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
